AND WE HAVE THEM ALL WITHIN REACH HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. Without leaving our country you may see them, and you should see them all. A small automobile, at slight expense, makes it possible for any family. Most comfortable railroad traintraTe ready for those that prefer rail travel. This is written on a fourth visit to the canyon, at the edge of the great wonder. Trains bring you to this spot, Pullmans parking on the south canyon rim to wait for you. On the north rim, across the hrilliant gulf fourteen miles wide, and a mile deep, stands the hotel, to which the trains take you. On that side the rim is fifteen hundred feet higher than here. MEN ARE SMALL, and their biggest adjectives feeble. The greatest that ever lived might write for a year about this canyon. You might read all, and visiting the canyon later, find it entirely new, and complain, "I don't believe he ever saw "it." It is new after you have seen it four times, and travelled around it, and ridden a mule down the full mile and up the steep sides, and ridden miles through it, chasing the wild donkeys that own it, and heard the wind that howls down there, when th sun goes, and the hot air roars upward. Milton might write best about it. . lie knewjnassive words, and how j la rrtJttfiuTem thunder. Coleridge j might try and fail. The "caverns . measureless to man" through which Alph, the sacred river ran, i down to a sunless sea" could be tucked away in one little corner of this thousand mile long chasm, through which the Colorado, the useful river runs, down to the gulf of California, destined on its way to develop wealth in controlled power and fertility that would make Kublai Qhan and ten thousand thou-sand like him seem beggars. "The heavens declare the glry of God. and the firmament sheweth forth his handiwork." This gigantic canyon, result of measurelss time, long millions of years, the earth s upheavals and the resistless power of rushing water, also declares the glory of the power that created this universe in which the earth is a grain of sand, and man lcrs than nothing. YOU STAND IIKUK n a level plateau, rising gradually toward the north, from seven to eight thousand feet above sea level, and Mr. Edwin D. McKee, park naturalist nat-uralist of Grand Canyon National Parle, shows you shells and other traces of marine life, proving that this high plain was once at the .bottom of the ocean. What is more, this solid land rose and sank and rose again from the ocean, millions upon millions of years ago. The earth is more than a thousand thou-sand million years old. Geology, chemistry, physics and astronomy-prove astronomy-prove that it has many hundred of millions of years of sun-lit life before it. Will this land of Arizona, Ari-zona, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, sink again below the ocean, taking the canyon and the Colorado down with it to rise in due time and let new rivers dig new canyons?

Students and - faculty members will be admitted on their activity cards. Mr. Lomax has given his lectures before colleges nd universities hundreds of times in various parts of America. This is the first time, however, that he has been through this section of the countiy. He has visited some of the larger universities, universi-ties, including Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, University of California and others, as many as five and six times. Compiler of Songs-He Songs-He is the compiler of two popular popu-lar volumes of cowboy songs, one under the title of "Cowboy Songs," the other under the caption "Songs of the Cattle Trail." These songs wen- obtained in the main from the actual cowboys who sang them aioiuul the cow camps of the south west. Mr. Lomax departs from the formal for-mal lecture, system and leads the audience in some of the famous ballads ot the western ranges, as he believe;; the way to teach any literature is to bring the student actually in contact with the litera-ure litera-ure itself. For three years Mr. Lomax was Sheldon Fellow for- the Investigation Investiga-tion of American ballads. Mr. Lomax has scores of testimonials testi-monials regarding the interest of his lectures. Professor LeRoy C. Cowles, University of Utah, said this: "The interest he aroused in the audience far surpassed any lectures I have heard." Professor William Lyon Phelps, Yale university, uni-versity, had this to say: "Every moment of the hour was interesting; interest-ing; he succeeds in a high degree in combining definite instruction with continuous entertainment."

By day thev are either a marvelous blue, sometimes cloud strewn or entirely overcast with fresh spring clouds; by night they are bediamoned with some of the most interesting constellations of the entire year. Just now, by 9:30 or 10 o'clock, the signs of the zodiak as well as the polar constellations are march- i ing over the heavenly fields in glorrous processions. Mars, an angry red or a glittering glitter-ing red carnation, according to the mood of the observer, and white, distant Jupiter, rise late in the evening eve-ning and stand above the eastern hills in silent beauty. Orion, Leo, Tarus, Masiopia, Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, and others of the most brilliant bril-liant constellations are at their bet. Just now to be sky-minded is to be entranced by loveliness by day or by night. I BANK IS II EXECUTIVE Ford Backs Two New Banks To Open in Detroit Banking upheavals, all designed de-signed to strengthen public confidence in the nation's financial system, occurred Dver a widespread area last night and today. Limitations on withdrawals withdraw-als of deposits were extended into Cleveland, other Ohio cities, and Indianapolis; Henry Ford, arch-enemy of bankers, was welcomed wel-comed in Detroit in a move to reorganize re-organize two great financial institutions insti-tutions there; and Charles E. Mitchell, who built the world's first billion dollar bank, resigned as its chairman and as a director, rerkins Succeeds Directors of the National City Bank of New York met at 9 a. m., and promptly accepted Mitchell's resignation, which he submitted as he left for Washington to resume testimony before the senate committee com-mittee on banking and currency, which has drawn from him and other officers of National City and affiliated companies, a story of bank operations outside the strict limitations of the banking field which aroused widespread criticism. James H. Perkins, president of the City Farmers Trust company, ! was named to succeed him. j An echo of many current disputes dis-putes over whether banks should go outside the field of direct banking bank-ing operations came in Detroit when Ford, putting up $8,250,000 cash to capitalize reorganization of two important banks, let it be known why he had refused to go into a pool with other wealthy men to provide money for the institutions. in-stitutions. He believed that a bank's first function was "to provide a place for safe deposit," a spokesman said, and he thought that "bank loans should be made for productive produc-tive and not speculative purposes." Ford Names Directors Under an agreement announced during the night, Ford will name all the directors for the two new hanks to take over the First Na-uonai Na-uonai and the Guardian National banks, since he Is providing all the capital for reorganization. The R. F. C will lend $78,000,000 to help the new banks pay 35 per cent of deposits to depositors in the ol-l institutions if they 'require it. Eventually the two new banks will be merged. in Ohio, the following banking developments grew out of weekend week-end conferences, some of which did not reach agreement until the early hours of today: In Cleveland, all banks except the National City will restrict withdrawals from commercial and savings accounts to 5 per cent, except ex-cept on sixty days' notice. In Dayton, the maor declared a three-day complete banking moratorium, mora-torium, with the approval of all banks. In Akron, banks will permit withdrawals by depositors for "normal business' needs, as determined deter-mined by average withdrawals over several months. In Lima, the First American Trust company continued a two per cent restriction, initiated Saturday. Sat-urday.

Eerie shadows crept silently across the dim ceiling and made weird patterns on the floor. An unearthly light flooded slowly into the room. A door slammed hollowly and from the dark cavern of the basement there came a groan, as from a soul in torture. The man lay rigid in bed. His scalp tingled. His muscles seemed frozen in terror. The shadow on the floor crept across the coverlet . . . A S THE morning da wived the man ouce more saw the familiar objects of the room.

A change in the manner of selecting se-lecting the casts to appeal in the drama and operetta divisions of the district conlest was voted by the M. I. A. executives in their regular session of Union meeting Sunday. Heretofore, the ward cast that won out in the stake finals has gone into the district contest intact. The change involves the selection of a cast from all of the wards in the drama and operetta to represent the stake. The execu- ! tives expressed the opinion that this would insure a cast of higher uniform quality and would make it possible for a more representative stake unit than has been the case in former contests. A decision to hold a stake Gold and Green ball on April 11th was also made by the group. A general gen-eral committee was appointed, consisting of the two co-chairmen 1 of the stake, each of the nine ward community activity committees.

HOSPITAL Feebleminded Group Presents Problem To the State Should the state of Utah maintain two institutions for the care of feeble-minded patients, pa-tients, or should they all be taken care of in one place, either the Utah State hospital hos-pital at Provo or the State Training school at American Fork That was the question discussed j fliitincr a visit bv a proun of leeis- i "O - " ' o J ' lators to the Utah State hospital, Sunday.

The views of the state hospital administration were ably presented by Dr. Dunn during the discussion, which was in the form of an open forum, with all the legislators par-1 par-1 icipating. "This is a hospital for the care of the insane. Let's keep it that," said Dr. Dunn. "It is unjust and wrong to cull out a number of the teachable feeble-minded patients from this institution, leaving the idiots and hopeless cases here to interfere with the proper care of the insane. "All feeble - minded patients should be taken care of at Ameri- j can Fork. If they haven't room, I give them more buildings.

The Japanese armies battled bat-tled ahead on two main fronts in a determined drive towards the capital, Chengtem.
